Extraordinary!
Sept Safaris, together with our guide Godlisten, exceeded our expectations. We had a private safari as a couple and we spent 3 days visiting 3 different parks, as driving around the same place seemed too tedious to us.
1) Tarangire – We saw plenty of zebras, wildebeest, and elephants up close, as well as warthogs, mongooses, and antelopes. However, the biggest surprise was spotting two cheetahs: one from a distance and the other from very close up.
2) Ngorongoro – The density of animals in this park is incredible, with seemingly endless stretches of wildlife. However, the biggest surprise was seeing 6 rhinos, including a mother with her baby. In addition to what we had seen in Tarangire, we also managed to spot hippos, lions, hyenas, and ostriches.
3) Lake Manyara – I knew I could expect a lot from Tarangire and Ngorongoro, so I didn't have particularly high expectations for Lake Manyara. However, the park turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Apart from the many baboons, we saw lots of elephants from just a few metres away. We even came across a pair taking a mud bath. The area is heavily forested, so animals can often be seen from a close distance (giraffes, zebras, and waterbuck).
Our guide, Godlisten, knew every corner of the parks. It was clear that he had been working in this field for over a decade. It was thanks to him that we managed to see so many animals. He knew what time to visit specific areas and how to navigate the national parks to maximise our chances of spotting rare animals. An additional highlight was how well our guide adapted to us. He knew when to stop for a longer while because something caught our interest, and when it was time to move on. He also adjusted his energy to match ours. When we were more energetic, he matched our enthusiasm, and when we were tired after a long day of safari, he gave us space and wasn't overly talkative. This made the entire experience feel very comfortable and personalised.
Communication with Sept Safaris via WhatsApp was also smooth, transparent, and incredibly fast. After we informed Isack that we were having trouble contacting the transport company (Nairobi–Arusha), he personally called them and sorted everything out.
The accommodation itself was also very good (Inoga Lodge in Karatu). I could go on praising them endlessly. Highly recommended!

Excellent service and communication. They lived up to my expectations.
We chose Serengeti Smiles because of a recommendation from a friend. The tour turned out to be one of the best travel experiences ever. Champion, our guide, was fantastic. He really made an effort for us to see the big 5 and many other animals. He was very knowledgeable about the Serengeti and very communicative. He helped us with translation and questions about everything. I would recommend him, especially for younger travelers. We were a family with two teenagers, and he managed to entertain them. The accommodation was top notch as well as the food. Staff at each lodge were friendly and accommodating. I would come again!

Unbelievable experience
We had a wonderful time on our safari and were completely satisfied. Everything went smoothly and turned out great!
The safari vehicle was in top shape, clean, and very comfortable. The power outlets inside the car were especially convenient, allowing us to easily charge our cameras and phones at any time for all the photos.
A huge shout-out to our driver: he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and put so much effort into making sure we had a great experience.
All in all, a thoroughly successful trip. We would book again anytime!

Very helpful organizing
Elly was very helpful getting everything organized for the safari. He dropped me to Arusha and offered to drop me to the airport after I came back but I already had something sorted. He left me know exactly when everything was happening and checked in to see if everything was going smoothly.

Everything is perfect ✌️
An absolutely unforgettable safari experience!
We were three brothers travelling from France and booked a 4-day safari with Joky Tours, visiting the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. It was an incredible experience from beginning to end and exceeded all our expectations.
We were extremely lucky with the wildlife. We managed to see all of the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five! We even saw both white and black rhinos, several lions and lionesses, lion cubs, and so many other animals. It was simply incredible to see all of them in their natural environment.
A huge part of what made this safari so special was our driver and guide, Denis. He was always in a great mood, full of humour and genuinely took care of everyone travelling with him. He is also an excellent driver, which you quickly learn to appreciate on the roads and safari tracks!
I am very interested in photography, and Denis really went above and beyond to help me get the best possible pictures. He always did his best to find the right position and give us the best opportunities to observe and photograph the animals. Thanks to him, I came back with some truly beautiful photos and memories that I will keep for a very long time.
Alex was also extremely friendly, welcoming and always smiling. We felt very well looked after by the Joky Tours team throughout the experience.
Four days went by far too quickly. We came to Kenya dreaming of experiencing a real African safari, and what we experienced was even better than we had imagined.
If I ever come back to Kenya for another safari, I would choose Denis as my driver and guide again without hesitation.
If I could give this experience 6 stars out of 5, I would!
Asante sana for these unforgettable memories! 🇰🇪
